Dear Unknown Child
Dear unknown child
I as a soldier am frightened as of whats going on around me. It feels that of every day one of my best friends or one of my team members are being killed or severely injured.
It feels that every day I see someone suffering from a bullet wound or fortnightly killed before a nurse can help. I feel a rush of guilt when I ether see my best guy or a team member shot, why did it have to happen to them and not me . As days go by and the number of soldiers alive I wounder if I will ever return to my family and friend, I wonder if they still remember me because I remember them.I do not really like the food here but I appreciate it because if it wasn't for the cooks I would die from starvation.
Bang after bang worry sets threw me as if a slowly moving bullet can come right into me and my blood gushing out like a glass breaking...........................
